Editing Log- Session 1

In the first session of editing we mainly focused on uploading our content onto the mac and then onto final cut pro x so that we could start piecing the different clips together. It took around around 15 to 20 minutes to upload on to final cut pro due to many of the shots taking longer to process than others. After the content from our SD had finally been uploaded we began to download off a MP3 download. Thus took only a couple of minutes and we then added it to our film footage as a backing track. 

Once we had downloaded all our content we then were ready to match close ups of Luke Mckendry lip syncing to the actual audio of the song. Using many different shots and also precisely matching the footage in timing to the audio which made it look as if Luke was singing the song. We spent the lesson breaking up the shots, cutting them down using all the different tools Final Cut has to offer. Luke and Jack put their ideas forward of which shots looked the best and which parts of the song to use them so that they contrast with the lyrics. 

 From first reviewing our footage we were astonished by what we had created in such a small period of time and the massive improvement from AS. We had improved aspects such as camera quality, shots types, angles and use of natural lighting.

 Through reviewing this session we found many positives that we can take away from it and add it into our next session. We took on most ideas and hopedfully we can apply these further on in the process. However, the negative of this session was that it took a long time to upload our footage to the Mac and we could have applied this time into editing rather than losing 25 minutes. Moreover, we had taken the pros and cons of the session and will use these to help us in the future.

Institutional information to use - Digipak Planning

Image
Within a digipak there must be information on both the institution and producers of the CD. From researching and looking through different magazine adverts and dikipaks I have found some of the must important pieces of information to include: -        - Firstly, the name of the record company is one of the most important pieces of information as it informs people who helped to produce the music. -        - Sometimes the names of the band members and the roles that they have in the band are included -        - It should include where the song was produced and created. -        - There should also be a section on the individuals who helped to create the designs and photographers. -        - The key institutional information should include the management of the band.

Birtipop fashion and style

Image
Kangol Bucket Hats: This particular style of hat became popular during the late 80's 'Madchester' era. They were specifically worn by Artists such as: Elton John, LL Cool J and the Gallagher brothers. Thanks to Oasis and The Stone Roses it stuck around as a Britpop staple. In 2016, the millinery still remains the perfect accessory for any festival fanatic. We can use this style of Fashion within our Music video to recreate one of the biggest fashion statements during the Britpop era. It will also show our knowledge on the fashion of the genre but also the fact that many Artists wear these styles of clothing during their Music videos. Many fishermen used to wear Bucket hats to protect from the rain whilst fishing. Many fans of the Britpop genre started to wear these in Manchester, to protect them from the rain during festivals and concerts. From there on, it has spiraled into a huge fashion statement of that era. Parka Jackets: The Parka jacket was first popularised

Editing feedback for our final rough edit

Image
This video shows  the specific information which we were given by our audience to help us make our music video even better, we also asked other people their opinion on our video and everyone else also suggested that we definitely need to improve the lip syncing. This is due to the fact that it is not in time and can be edited easily to make sure we change it so that it looks more professional. Besides this minor change we were given positive feedback on our music video and that they enjoyed both the introduction and ending where we included  small parts of the live performance.
